haikyuu manga spoiler !! but !! hinata’s little giant never made it to national teams and quit volleyball after high school and this drives me so insane because wow wow wow they show you flashbacks of him and talk about him with so much intensity and he looks so cool and so good at what he does and you feel like he has to be the top player ever and that he has to have chosen that path, right? no! he’s a chill guy who’s so surprised hinata looked up to him so much, and he quit because he had other interests too and he’s still so happy with his life and he’s also the reason a star was born in volleyball he’s everything hinata wanted to be at one point and he dragged hinata into the sport that shaped him forever i mean !!! you don’t have to be anything crazy! you don’t even know the ways you inspire people around you! just put your heart into everything you do! you’re great whatever you do!

All I want, is to practice and train, paying proper care and attention to everything, today, tomorrow, and all the way up to the day before my last game.

Alternate versions, because I simply could not decide!

Now that JJK 271 is out and had...an ending...I have one issue and question.

Why are people trying to force a narrative that most Shonen endings are bad?

Haikyu!!, Slam Dunk, Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho 100, Dororo, Gurren Lagann, Zatch Bell, the ending of Chainsaw Man part 1, Trigun, Ashita no Joe, Gintama, the JJBA endings (especially Steel Ball Run and Stone Ocean), Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Beck, Pandora Hearts, Great Teacher Onizuka, and way more than I can list all had great endings.

Heck, Full Metal Alchemist, a manga that many hold in especially high regard, is widely regarded to have a perfect or near perfect ending.

I have my own issues with the jjk ending, but some of them stem from issues I've had with the manga for a while so it wasn't surprising for the issues I've been having to crop up at the finale, especially given the rush to get there. But there are so many people quick to bash the entire category of manga. The examples of bad, mediocre, and/or controversial shonen endings are often just very well-known series so of course when they end people are loud about it.

As unsatisfied as I, and many people are, with this ending I feel like it was almost inevitable. Gege's health took a steep drop towards the latter half of the series and even more during this final arc. (I still swear by the fact that most manga, especially jjk, should be on a monthly format instead of weekly).

At the end of the day, endings are hard. You have to wrap up multiple threads in a succinct and satisfying way, and this is even harder when its a long running series or a series with a LOT of expectations. Coupled with the deadlines, restraints, and meddling most mangaka face when writing its a difficult task to wrap up hundreds of chapters in just a few.

Anyway it really has been our Potential Kaisen.

11. ice cream

fun facts!

➤ atsumu and y/n end up eating ice cream in the cold in complete silence. ➤ things are pretty awkward between them right now, and neither of them know why.. ➤ tsumu searched up "good would you rather questions" and that's basically how they spent their night. ➤ it was kinda fun and the questions did help, but even on the drive back home y/n felt a little off. and it wasn't the whole kenma fan situation—she was totally over that. ➤ y/n couldnt help but feel as if atsumu was keeping something from her. (he's definitely hiding something) ➤ atsumu apologized for the awkwardness when they arrived at her place, which sort of eased things up!

look at this small funny comedic moment from chapter 4 (!!!!) where hinata works himself so hard that he makes himself sick. definitely still humorous and fun on a second read through and totally doesnt evoke any strong emotions in me about self care or knowing your limits, nope this is fine. i'm fine.

(i cut out some of the panels in between to make this moment more obvious for the purposes of showcasing my point for this post, but in those panels kageyama's inner monologue about hinata's greatest weapon being his drive to keep going no matter how tired he is is so wildly good, especially contrasted with how that exact weapon is immediately what makes hinata sick here)

oikawa is a perfectly crafted character. he’s silly and insufferable and has a ridiculous way of behaving but he’s also determined and strong and committed and hardworking. if you dive deeper, he’s also desperate, insecure, and he yearns and he wants and he fights. he’s scared his hard work will never be enough because there are people who are already one step ahead of him, people he considers geniuses.

“talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish.”

i don’t think anything will ever stop him from doubting and feeling insecure, and iwaizumi himself once told him he’s probably never going to be satisfied. however, by breaking free from the constant pressure of “the talented ones”, he can polish his hard work, his instinct, his drive.

it will lead him far, yes. in fact, it leads him to another country, dealing with another language and another culture and another world. he momentarily forgets just how fun volleyball can be, until meeting hinata reminds him of it. he grows up to be fierce and motivated and passionate and on the opposite side of the court, representing another country and standing up for his “petty pride”.

he’s a character that drives me insane because i relate to him in ways that scare me. am i talented? or is what i have “just” instinct that i have to polish? am i a sort of imposter between people who are born great? people who have to work hard, just like me, but they seem to be doing it a bit more effortlessly?

hard work is always hard work, no matter the raw material (talent/instinct). but oikawa is so good and relatable because he knows it and he still feels like he needs to do more, more, more. he feels different from the others, and when first confronted with this reality it almost takes control of him. (kageyama is what he will never be, he despises him because of it).

and what’s an even bigger paradox is that nobody ever looks down on him. he does it all by himself. kageyama and ushijima and hinata and everybody else, they all look at him for what he is: a good player, a scary opponent, someone they fear and someone they look up to simultaneously, someone they have fun playing against, someone they want to beat, someone worth their time and efforts, someone who’s crazy good at what he does.

as always, haikyuu is so real for this too. our mind works in very weird ways, sometimes we don’t take into consideration others’ opinions of us unless they’re negative, we’re never satisfied with ourselves, we always want more.

oikawa is a perfectly crafted character. he has flaws and he’s so intensely human people might despise him for it. and the path furudate built for him is so fitting and so hopeful it has me believing there’s a chance i’ll get there too. not to Argentina, not to the Olympics. instead, to a future where my hard work means something (to me!).

and what if i don’t feel like the others? what about it? it will never be “just” instinct. it’s my hard work, my pride and drive. it will lead me places because i demand it. when oikawa breaks off the cycle, he becomes insatiable. “i will defeat everyone, so be ready!”

(i also happen to believe he really does defeat everyone).
